PROLOGUE

Hundred of years ago, the entire earth was ruled by countless colossal beast. Human corpses are scattered like mountains of trash, waiting to be fed by wild predators. Blood enriches the dry lands. Bones, leftovers go back to the dust.

Humanity was at the verge of extinction.

Yet, the gods of all heavens and earths witnessed the mass slaughter; heard the selfless plead of their creation, screaming their loudest to reach the heights beyond the earthly sky.

The gods listened; were touched to this people. At last, salvation will come to the poor and weak.

A shower of magical energy was poured out to those who remember their gods; to those who mourned with humility and contempt—they are the people blessed with divine blood that holds specks of the gods' power.

Not long ago, the people of the divine wandered through the earths on foot fearlessly with the ability to slay the once-feared beasts. In thier journey, they discovered the secrets of the world and unlocked the gates of power.

At the time, five youths ascended to be kings.

Five kingdoms rose up on the earths, dividing the territory of authority. One-fifth of the earth was never been enough to the kings. Their mind and soul was filled with a conqueror's intent to stand on the pinnacle of strength, and seize every lands and seas.

The victor shall be the curator of the god's authority on earth: the divine's right-hand.

Kingdom against kingdoms. People against people. The spilling of blood manifested once more in the soils. Children, elders, women and men were killed in the pursuit of supremacy.

No one is safe; no place can guarantee protection. Everyone are always walking through the blades of death.

Seeing the bitter events, the gods played blind and deaf as they decided to not intervene. It was the war chosen by their own people. All they did was to have a childish bet in choosing which kingdom will rise to the throne of all human.

Each gods favored one kingdom in the race. They had their own fight on their own. They blessed and helped their chosen people in their crusade for their personal intentions—the god who attain victory will also seize the title: God of all gods.

Many years later, destruction of the lands, empires and more catastrophe washed the earth with innocent's blood. Yet, none of the kingdom ascended to sit on the throne.

At that period, beast evolved beyond the power of the divine humans. They brought massive destruction again, breaking through the kingdom's walls; cities were invaded by the horde of demonic beast.

A come-back with unstoppable vengeance. The Lord of Darkness stood amidst the human to spread violence and fear.

Still, the gods choose to remain silent for they decided to let the fate of mankind be handled by their own hands. They got tired of helping human who always fall in evilness, disrupting the balance of the world.

Hundred of years passed, there was a kingdom built on the fertile land of the northern-east chamber of the earth. It was standing tall on a plateau which touches the clouds.

It was said to be the home of the gods and goddesses in accordance to their ancestral wisdom.

Wars still lighten a death show in the eroded lands—the Deadland. The pursuit of power was passed endlessly for centuries.

Yet, this Kingdom lived in peace without experiencing beast and kingdom attacks in the last fifteen years.

However, prosperity was not for everyone in this region. The discrimination due to power was evident that those who do not possess divine blood will be thrown outside the walls to work for the divine humans.

People are not all blessed with freedom!

No slaves had ever escaped their tragic fate from the abusive hands of the cruel rulers.

They mourned to the gods but no one wiped their tears.

They sung praises but the heavens closed its gates.

They were rejected...

They were forsaken...

But, maybe one day...

EVERYTHING MIGHT POSSIBLY CHANGE.

A/N: This was originally published in wattpad (actually narrated in 1st POV) but now that I'll sharing it here and will be using 3rd POV in the next chapters :)

EDITTED: I am not sure when can I write the 3rd POV version but for now I'll be positing the first person point of view. (I'm still finishing it on the other one, forgive me if it delays.) And of course, I would like to ask you if this deserves to be written in 3rd person.
